From T1 or T2, Prho Taxi runs fixed-rate rides
Meter-free, Prho Taxi works on fixed zones from both T1 and T2 at Mexico City International Airport, so you pay a set price before you get in the car. You buy the ticket at an official Prho Taxi counter inside the terminal, near arrivals, and then hand it to the driver outside. No haggling, no surprise meter jumps halfway down Circuito Interior.
Official Prho Taxi booths sit just past customs in T1 and T2 arrivals, with prices printed by zone, usually split by areas like Centro, Polanco, and Condesa. You pay in pesos at the counter, often with cards accepted, and get a printed receipt that shows the terminal, destination zone, and fare amount. Keep that receipt handy until you reach your hotel or Airbnb.
How to use Prho Taxi step-by-step
- 1. After landing in T1 or T2, clear immigration and customs as usual.
- 2. Walk into the arrivals hall and look for the Prho Taxi counter among the authorized taxi booths.
- 3. Tell the agent your destination; they quote a fixed zone fare and print a ticket.
- 4. Pay at the counter in MXN and keep your receipt with the fare and zone printed.
- 5. Follow the agent’s directions to the Prho Taxi pickup line just outside arrivals.
- 6. Hand the ticket to the Prho driver, confirm your hotel name and area, then ride.
- 7. At drop-off, you should not pay anything extra unless you voluntarily tip in pesos.
Timing, safety, and one last tip
In daytime traffic, a Prho Taxi run from T1 or T2 to Centro Histórico often runs 25–45 minutes, while Polanco or Condesa can push closer to 40–60 minutes in rush hour. Because fares are terminal-to-zone, price does not change if the car sits 10 extra minutes on Viaducto. Ignore anyone offering taxis inside baggage claim or just past customs without a visible booth; stick to the official counters with printed pricing. Last tip: snap a quick photo of the taxi number plate and your receipt before you leave the curb, so if a bag is left behind you have all the details ready.
